I thought it'd be interesting to see how people felt about PTRs and the news information about WoW that this generates. It seems more and more these days that before content is widely available (live!) that the community at large is already aware of all the bosses, the items that will be available, and people walk into a dungeon with a firm strat and a gear list in hand.

I personally am divided on this issue -- for example, I love seeing my tier sets and their bonuses before they come out, but I avoid any and all information regarding dungeons -- I don't want to see pictures of the dungeon, I don't want to know the boss' abilities, and I sure don't want a loot table. To me, having all that information detracts from the noobish awe and fun of a new raid instance.

Then of course there is the flip side to that, where even relatively 'casual' guilds, consider that you're doing your team a major disservice by not understanding the fights and how they work - at least at a theoretical level - before ever taking your first step into the instance.

Interesting topic though, now with exams over, will see if can make a contribution to it.
